Chapter 571: The End of the Sixth Division

readx; "Jade Shatter!"

When Kanda Kanaka said this weakly, the end of the 47th Infantry Wing had arrived. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The military flag, which represented the supreme glory of the army wing, burned to ashes in the fire

In the 28th year of the Republic of China, on December 4, 1939, the 26th Division of the Army of the People's Revolutionary Army seized the southwest gate of Tongcheng, and the commander of the 11th Infantry Brigade of the 6th Division of the Army committed suicide, and the commander of the 47th Infantry Wing, Kanda Xiangzhong, issued the order of the "Jade Shattered" military flag for the first time on the Chinese battlefield, and then committed suicide.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, this was the first military flag to be "broken" on the Chinese battlefield, and this also means that the formation of the 47th Infantry Wing will no longer exist in the army!

It may not be the proudest to be able to annihilate many enemies, but it is a great honor for Chinese soldiers to be able to make an elite wing of the Chinese army never exist again!

The battle continues

The explosives had been piled up, and the 150-centimeter-long slow-burning fuse burned 1 centimeter per second. He carried the telephone on his back and stood by to call the Demoman to light the fire. The Demoman crouched silently, holding the fuse in one hand and pressing the matchhead to the fuse, and pinching the matchbox in the other. The fuse can only be ignited by the energy of the instantaneous detonation of the match head, and the open flame cannot be ignited. Just wait for the company commander to make a gesture and "click" the ground, and the dogs on the opposite side will turn into a pile of ashes!

4:10 p.m.

"Detonate!"

The commander of the sapper battalion took a few puffs of cigarette, then threw away the cigarette butt, his hand trembled a little, and shook the detonator vigorously. At the same time, all the Demomen shook their handles with all their might. At the other end, the Demoman also lit the fuse at the command of the company commander, and then turned and ran backwards.

At first there seemed to be no movement, but after a few seconds the earth shook a little, then a few more times, a bit like an earthquake, and the wooden supports in the shelter of the regimental command post "creaked" and shook. A force rose into the sky, lifting the entire large pillbox of the opposing army for several meters and falling down crookedly.

At the same time, a thick column of smoke sprang up from the other side, and a hat was worn on the head of the pillar of smoke, like a mushroom cloud. In the thick smoke, you can see the corpses of the soldiers, tree trunks, gasoline barrels, guns, and countless military supplies and equipment, flying all over the sky. The column of smoke was one or two hundred meters high, staying in mid-air for a long time. When the sound came, it was not as loud as expected, and it was not as deafening as the bombs dropped by planes, a bit like the muffled sound of thunder in the clouds in the distance.

In an instant, the officers and men who were preparing to participate in the offensive burst out with exciting slogans: "Down with the imperialists!" Reconquest! Long live the victory! ”

When the explosion did not fall, the officers and men of the 2nd Company, which was used as an assault company, jumped up with the sound of the trumpet of the charge, rushed forward with a shout, and planted the national flag on the ground with the blue sky and white sky and red ground. At that time, the smoke and dust were billowing and the sky was dark, and the flying dust covered the sky. The soil on the position was soft and opened with many large cracks.

A few minutes later, the bombed army came to their senses, and the army in the northwest bunker desperately started shooting.

After the explosion, some people who were not killed fled desperately, and were reprimanded by the adjutant of the wing, Captain Sanada, who roared frantically: "Even if I am lying on a stretcher, I will command you to fight!" ”

As a result, these soldiers had no choice but to turn around and fight back. The 1st Battalion of the 151st Regiment engaged the enemy in a fierce battle and was routed after 30 minutes.

While the 151st Regiment was attacking the enemy position after the blasting, the troops in the south also launched an attack at the same time. The 152nd Regiment assaulted the position of the Japanese army, but was blocked by heavy enemy fire on the anti-slope.

The 1st Battalion of the 151st Regiment quickly cleaned up the battlefield and found that 4 enemies were still cowering in the half-buried ditch to resist.

There were still prisoners of the army. Four Japanese prisoners were escorted to the back, and it seemed that these captives had accepted their fate.

It is said that this soldier is often like this: when there is a breath, under the influence of a strong herd mentality, he will fight desperately with the crowd; Once captured, it is resigned to fate, because the "shame" has already descended, and escaping back is a dead end.

Liu Sihai, the regiment commander who was walking to the front, asked one of the prisoners: "Chinese Taijun, is it good?" ”

Seeing the Chinese "general" asking, the prisoner immediately replied in a daze: "The Chinese Taijun is very good, but there is a loud bang, not good!" Not good! ”

Liu Sihai couldn't help laughing

At night, the Yue army, unwilling to fail, launched a desperate counterattack.

A large number of enemies rushed up silently, and these devils all went crazy, shooting fiercely regardless of life or death.

Many devils were hit, fell down and rolled a few times, and struggled to rush to the position, insisting on fighting with the Chinese soldiers. At this time, the Chinese soldiers were also provoked by the madness of the devils, and they worked the battlefield, and everyone had only one life!

So those Chinese soldiers also rushed out of the trenches and fought with the devils.

People, as soon as they have the strength to work hard, they are infinitely powerful, and they are also very flexible in jumping and moving. A Chinese soldier knocked down a devil with the butt of a gun, and he was still rolling on the ground, and the Chinese soldier jumped up and pressed his neck to get him, and without beware of his bite, three fingers of the Chinese soldier were broken.

Ten fingers connected to the heart, and the tears of the Chinese soldiers hurt out. With a horizontal heart, he took out a grenade in his right hand, and hit it seven or eight times in a row, knocking out the head of this man until his neck

When fighting a war and defeating madness, there is a sense of pleasure, and those who do not go through ruthless fighting will never be able to experience this taste.

Yue Kou gathered more than 200 people and rushed to the left flank position, trying to regain this vital commanding height.

Wang Fuguo, the commander of the 7th Company, received an order from the battalion commander and led the officers and soldiers of the 1st and 2nd platoons to rush to the position to fight side by side with the officers and men of the 2nd Company. In the melee, the company commander Wang Fuguo was paralyzed and careless, holding a big knife in his hand, without a gun, and met Yue Kou face to face in the trench, and was shot in the waist by Yue Kou twice in a row, and died heroically.

The sergeant of the herald squad next to the company commander, squad leader Liu, saw that the devil was aiming at him again, jumped up and pressed the devil to the bottom of the trench, and tightly wrapped his hands around the devil's throat to strangle him. The devil was difficult to turn over, and he actually pulled the grenade on his waist, and with a loud bang, squad leader Liu and the devil died together

Fortunately, the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd platoons of the 2nd and 7th companies fought bravely, and the submachine guns and grenades exerted their maximum power and drove the devils out of the position

At this time, Hei, the elder of the 26th Division, also came to the front line in person, he called Liu Sihai in front of him, and said straight to the point:

"The senior commander has spread the news of my general attack to Yucheng, and the whole country and the whole world know that our army has launched a general attack. This time, you select the daredevils to attack again, you must seize the last elite force of the army, the main position of the 23rd Wing, each of them will be given a bonus of 10,000 yuan, and the situation of their families will be recorded. You must choose the young, strong, and clever people, and the mentally handicapped and the mentally poor, and you must not let them die. I will send the deputy division commander of Rongguang to your regiment to supervise the battle and give you a bonus, and the attack will begin as soon as the bonus is finished.

8 p.m.

The deputy division commander of Rongguang came to the command post of the 151st regiment, and the entourage was still carrying several large boxes. After the deputy division commander arrived, he immediately summoned the officers and men of the regiment to organize a death squad.

Battalion Commander Chen Fuzhong of the 3rd Battalion first reported: "I am the only lieutenant colonel battalion commander in the whole regiment, and I want to play an exemplary role. ”

In the end, it was decided that Chen Fuzhong would be the captain of the death team and 30 people would be selected to form a death squad. After the personnel were selected, Glory ordered the attachΓ©s to open several large wooden boxes, which were filled with fiat currency, and then distributed them to the daredevils one by one.

Rong Guang said loudly: "Today, 5,000 yuan per person will be temporarily paid, and another 5,000 yuan will be issued after taking the position." Each person was also given a blue wrapper, so that everyone could wrap the fiat currency and carry it on their backs. In the end, Rong Guang said: "We are fighting for every inch of land. Today, every member of the death squad has a strong patriotic spirit and a fearless spirit that is not afraid of hardship and sacrifice, and dares to fight to the death against the stubborn enemy and seize the position. This spirit deserves admiration and admiration. I wish you success and the final victory belongs to us! ”

After the army loses its solid position, its combat capability will be greatly reduced under our superior artillery fire and infantry assault.

The death squad charged to the death against the 23rd Wing, and this battle was an unprecedented tragedy in the entire Tongcheng Campaign.

In the battle notes of the 26th Division, it is recorded as follows:

"The battle was a scuffle from the start, and the circumstances were unknown. The 151st Regiment gathered forces for recovery and poured artillery fire into the position. At 8:30 p.m., Liu Sihai, the commander of the 151st Regiment, gathered more than 30 people, and added more than 10 people from his spy platoon to personally lead the attack. Deputy Division Commander Rong Guang personally supervised the rear and began the attack at 9 o'clock. Seeing that the enemy was in groups of three or five, he fled to the anti-slope plane, and immediately designated six cannons to scatter fire, and the enemy broke and fled no less than forty or fifty. When our infantry reached the apex, we saw six or seven of our infantry rushing towards the position, flanking the front and back, and the remnants of the enemy were desperately unable to retreat, and about 30 or so of them collapsed. I entered the position at 10 o'clock and found that one of the commander of the 3rd Battalion of our 151st Regiment and 12 soldiers were stationed in the large undamaged shelter that had not been destroyed before. Outside the mouth of the shelter, more than 20 dead bodies of the enemy were piled up. In the re-inventory of the position, the enemy and our soldiers hugged each other and the dead totaled 62 pairs, which were all over the trench. On the anticline, the limbs are dissolved, the intestines and lungs are in disarray, and they are covered with trenches, which are unprecedented and miserable."

After the charge began, as soon as the daredevils rushed forward, they were shot by the army. Seeing this, Niu Defu, the commander of the division, was furious, and had no time to ask for instructions, so he asked a squad leader for 1 submachine gun and 6 grenades, quickly rushed to the side of the daredevils and squatted down, and then threw two grenades behind a large earthen fortress, and immediately heard several screams from the army. It turned out that the gunners of the army were hiding behind the big earthen fortress, and Niu Defu had already seen it at a glance when he watched the battle, and then threw 4 grenades in a row, blowing up the army behind the earthen fortress to the point of flesh and blood.

Niu Defu took advantage of the situation to rush up and use a submachine gun to shoot fiercely at the army behind the earthen fortress, and at this time, the regiment commander Liu Sihai also personally led more than 20 people to rush up for reinforcements. At this time, Niu Defu saw that the battalion commander Chen Fuzhong was wounded and lying behind the base, so he raised his arms, shouldered the command of the position, and led the daredevils to kill a large number of soldiers. The morale of our assault team rose sharply, and they took advantage of the situation to disperse and open fire on the enemy, and in an instant all the enemy in the position was annihilated.

There are corpses of both sides piled up all around, some of them scuffle with each other, you hold my head, I jam your neck, you grab my thighs, I pinch your lower body, and some are even squirming and moaning! The soil, soaked in the blood of the dead, emitted a fishy stench and the smell of gunsmoke, as if crying and burning.

And all the money scattered here is the fiat currency that was just issued to the brothers of the death squad

Just as Chen Fuzhong was about to say nothing when he pointed to the corpse beside him and the Guan Jin Ticket all over the ground, he suddenly looked up and saw a group of troops rushing from the northwest, like a group of vicious wolves, coming extremely fiercely.

At this time, the machine gun set up by the covering team for flat fire had already sounded, and the bullet hit the scorched and crooked trunk of the tree in front, and immediately turned out the white and tender heart of the tree, which was particularly eye-catching. The soldiers who rushed to the front began to fall one by one, but the people behind did not retreat, but continued to rush over with corpses. Several soldiers rushed straight to a few meters away from Cui Jisheng before they suddenly fell to the ground, their limbs began to twitch, and their wounds spurted out of the blood

At this time, the Chinese soldiers suddenly realized: they did not come to fight for positions at all, but to commit suicide en masse out of despair!

The army is already desperate, completely desperate!

Half of the city has already poured into Chinese soldiers, and the defeat of the 6th Division is irreversible!

At this time, Machijiri Liangji seemed very calm, sitting in his headquarters, no matter how fierce the gunfire outside was, he never said a word.

Failed? Yes, it really has failed. The elite Sixth Division was really completely buried in its own hands.

Shimono Kazuho walked in, glanced at the division commander, and then said with great difficulty: "The commander of the Tokutaro Brigade and the captain of the Kanda Kajunaka Wing, they have already served His Majesty the Emperor The military flag of the 47th Wing and the 47th Wing have been broken."

Machijiri's body trembled, but he still didn't speak.

"Most of the positions of the 23rd Wing have been lost, and countless Shina soldiers have entered Tongcheng, at most until dawn, the Shina people will come here" Shimono Kazuho took a deep breath and decided to do his duty as chief of staff: "Your Excellency the division commander, the battle is irreparable, for the future of the sixth division, please evacuate immediately!" ”

Machijiri suddenly asked, "Has the flag of the 47th Wing been shattered?" ”

Shimono Kazuho nodded with difficulty.

Machijiri Liangji's lips trembled slightly: "This is the first jade broken military flag since the Imperial Holy War, and this huge shame started from me!" I no longer have the face to run away, I no longer have the face to see Commander Okamura and my colleagues, I have betrayed the trust that His Majesty the Emperor has placed in me! ”

Shimono Ichihuo was shocked, he knew what His Excellency the Division Commander wanted to do: "Your Excellency the Division Commander, you can't choose that path, the Sixth Division can fail, but it can't cross!" On behalf of the officers and men of the whole division, I beg you to leave! ”

"No, Shimono-kun." Machijiri Liangji smiled sadly: "A soldier of the empire can't live his life with shame, please leave first, this is an order!" ”

Machijiri has no choice, and Shimono Kazuho also has no choice.

Machijiri originally wanted to write a letter to his family as his masterpiece, but when he picked up the pen, he put it down again.

There's no need, there's really no need for it

I am a loser, a shameful loser, and in such a situation, I leave a masterpiece, and what I bring to my family can only be the same shame and a laughing stock

He stood up, walked to the door, paused there for a moment, and suddenly drew his command knife and cried out hoarsely:

"Warriors of the Empire, shatter the jade!"

The 26th Division of the National Revolutionary Army rushed in; The 91st Division rushed in; The 92nd Division rushed in; The 93rd Division rushed in; The 6th Division also rushed in!

The small Tongcheng has become a meat grinder and the grave of the Sixth Division of the Chinese Army!

A large number of people fell under guns and knives, and many of them were mercilessly assassinated without even having a chance to surrender!

The anger of the Chinese has been fully burst here!

Time passed little by little, and by the time dawn came, the sound of gunfire and shouts had decreased considerably.

At 6 o'clock in the morning of December 5, an earth-shattering voice suddenly spread throughout the city:

"I've caught the head of the devil division! I've caught the commander of the Devil Division! ”

"Caught the devil lieutenant general! Catch the devil lieutenant general! ”

"What?" The old black, who was directing the battle, didn't seem to believe what he had heard. But the staff officers around him also looked at each other.

"Master, Master!" Liu Sihai stumbled in, unable to hide the joy on his face: "Division, great news, the commander of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Invaders, Lieutenant General Machijiri Liangji!" ”

Lao Hei rushed in front of him at once: "Really? Are you not mistaken? ”

"No, no!" Liu Sihai said loudly: "There must be no mistake! Machijiri Measurement Base, Townjiri Measurement Base! I'll confirm it myself! I'm heading here now! ”

Liu Sihai's words were incoherent, Lao Hei let go of the hand that grabbed his subordinates, his body shook a little, and he muttered: "God, God, I really caught a big fish!" Division commander? Lieutenant General! Fuck, Lao Tzu is developed this time, developed! ”

There was a cheer on the side, and Lao Hei suddenly remembered something at this time, and said impatiently:

"Send a telegram to Commander Gao Fei, send a power to my 26th Division, capture the commander of the 6th Division of the Army, and win a great victory in Tongcheng!!"
